Not sure tbh, the Gumball cars were supposed to be arriving around 4:30/5:00, I'd just gone down to pick up my new City shirt for next season....this was a nice little bonus I didn't know about.

Was the supercars drivers club I think. Everybody else ended up in the car park on the other side of the bridge.

What's the deal with the headlight? I'm assuming the panel gap isn't supposed to be like that?

Was there today too, bit pissed off waiting from 12pm for about 7 to turn up in 4 hrs.

What did make me laugh was the junior supercar sat with those lot pictured... Yep the M135i was amongst that lot hahaha.

I was looking at them photos thinking, God what a gaudy yawnfest. Then thankfully saw the Jag, orange Beemer and ultimate.

The rest genuinely do nothing for me, I'd not give them a second glance.

I must be al old fart!

I just returned to the thread to write exactly the same - but I know I'm an old fart

completely agree

[Passeyfier]

I'm a fan of the Ultima GTR so that gets a tick from me but I agree, the CSL and XJ220 are a breath of fresh air to the usual exotica on display. As an added bonus, I much prefer those wheels on the XJ220 than the standard attire, even if they are aftermarket.

They'd already told his brother off, which is why you can see him letting the tyres down in the last pic

Roller's interior looks a comfy place to be.

I was there for a couple of hours on the way to visit family - saw the Jag, Deadmau5 in his blue 458, and a handful of other cars arrive. And that is about all that turned up... I heard that a few cars ended up at Man U ground, and that quite a few went straight down to London.

The SCD guys lined up at least gave the crowd something else to look at up close.

Is this why I saw gumball stickered wiesmann/991/shelby coupe thing on the A1 southbound today?

[CAPP0]

Anyone know anything yet about the "secret venue" stop-off tomorrow? Brands?

I think its the top gear test track

[CAPP0]

Ah right, thanks. That'll make the time at the M20 quite a but later I'd guess. Every year I either hear about this afterwards, or happen to spot a couple of cars as I'm on my way somewhere else, so seeing as I'm 1/4 mile from a quiet (or should I say, not busy!) motorway bridge I wouldn't mind having a gander.
